The Godai Mirabilia is a series of poems detailing the beauty and power of the five elements of the Japanese philosophy Godai. Each of these elements are beautiful and powerful in its own way and this poetry collection captures them as the wonders of the natural world that they are. The first element is fire, fire is destructive yet beautiful, it can bring death that then allows for new life to growth. The second element, water, is flexible, flowing everywhere and teeming with life as if itself is alive. Earth is the third element, it is both the ground beneath us and the rest of the natural world on it, it is considered to be the element of stability and resisting change. The fourth element is air, which is seen by many to represent freedom, grace, and wisdom. The final element is void, the element is representative of the connection of all things, what is beyond creation and the emptiness that came before it. These elements come together to create the universe in its purest form, bringing what is necessary for life, energy, and endless possibilities of what is to come.
